AREA INFO:
Ovacik/Hisaronu:

With an altitude of approximately 300 meters, the area gives respite from the summer heat during the peak holiday season.

Fethiye:
The large provincial town of Fethiye is built on the site of ancient Telmessos. Fethiye overlooks an attractive bay and is crowned by the ruins of an ancient fortress built by the Crusader knights of Rhodes and in the steep surrounding cliffs you can visit the ancient Lycian rock tombs carved into the hillside. Around the town you will come across sarcophagi rock dating back to 450BC. The Gulf of Fethiye is a broad bay dotted with small islands and furrowed by inlets and coves, enhanced by lush, wooded mountain slopes which sweep down to the shore.

Fethiye has a large colourful harbour and marina where you can find the local fishing boats bobbing beside the sophisticated cruisers, yachts and catamarans which visit Fethiye. You will also see the traditional Turkish gulets, beautiful wooden vessels of varying sizes which leave from the harbour daily and visit the many coves and bays in the area. A wide promenade lined with cafes runs around the harbour and yachting marina, tables and chairs spilling out from underneath awnings and trees onto a water front terrace.

Fethiye has an open market where much of the towns daytime action takes place. It is a riot of colours, sounds and smells, where you can buy a wide range of goods such as leather goods, Turkish carpets, gold and silver jewellery and much more. The town itself doesn't have a beach, but Çaliş beach is a long sand and pebble beach just 4km away. Or alternatively you can visit the famous and beautiful bay of Ölüdeniz which is just 15km away and has a beautiful sandy beach.

If you enjoy natural beauty and nature you can visit the town of Kayakoy just 10km away up in the surrounding hills. This Greek settlement was abandoned during the population exchanges between the Greeks and Turks in the 1920's. There are about 1200 houses, which have remained unoccupied since then and the area retains a very melancholic atmosphere. The surrounding countryside remains unspoilt and is great for those who enjoying walking and exploring.

There are also many ancient sites all within 50km of Fethiye, Pinara, Simena, Tlos, Zanthos, Letoon and Patara to mention a few. During the spring these sites are a mass of wild flowers, herbs and the wildlife they attract, as well as being a fascinating insight into ancient Lycia and how the Lycians lived. There is also a small museum in Fethiye which also helps explain the ancient history of the area.
